Southern Maryland:  Demolition Services Help You Rebuild?

How Residential Demolition Services Can Help You With Rebuilding
Your Southern Maryland House

So you’re a house proud homeowner and you’re considering upgrading and/or renovating your home. As with any construction project, preparation is key, and to make way for the new, you need to remove the old. While this may sound a simple process, there are a number of factors to consider before you reach for your sledgehammer. Do you require a permit/s? What about environmental clean-up and the recycling of materials? And what about the remediation of the site to ensure it’s ready for the construction process?

This is when you need the services of an experienced and competent demolition contractor who will safely remove the unwanted pre-existing structure/s in preparation for your rebuilding and/or renovation project. A residential demolition company has the skilled labor and correct equipment to handle partial or total structure removal, including the stripping of interiors, cutting of concrete, removal of steel, and digging up of underground tanks.

Calling in an expert demolition contractor is highly recommended in the event you wish to remove or alter one or more load bearing walls, and also in those instances when you need to remove large appliances that are connected directly to the power and/or water supply. While the chances that you may start a fire and/or flood out your home may be small, is it worth taking the risk.

And while wrecking is its business, a reputable residential demolition contractor is able to do so while keeping the site safe and addressing any potential health-related issues. Another bonus is that they can secure the necessary permits and approvals for your planned alterations, and inform your neighbours of the pending demolition. They can also tend to other logistics on your behalf; such as notifying the relevant gas, water and electricity providers, and if so required, rent a dumpster and/or block off an affected traffic area.

A professional demolition company is also experienced in dealing with the removal of potential hazardous materials like asbestos from walls and ceilings, and they will have the correct equipment and clothing to do so safely, and without contaminating the site, which is your home after all. And in this case, they can also make application for the additional permit that is usually required.

Once the actual demolition process is complete, the cleaning up of the site begins. This is the last, but not least, of the steps in preparing for the rebuilding process. It is possible that some of the interior fittings, like cabinets, flooring or beams may be salvaged and an arrangement made with the contractor to either keep and sell them yourself, or allow the demolition company to buy them for an agreed fee. However, more often than not there is little to be salvaged.

As for the disposal of the debris, it is usually most cost-effective to have the contractor do so, as hiring an independent removal service can be very expensive. Once this has been taken care of, you are ready for the next exciting step: rebuilding your home.
